Kako scored just 40 in Essendon's 77-point belting by Collingwood at the MCG — and the community is reporting he has suffered a back stress injury and will miss time. Bone stress at a young age is a serious flag; his cash-gen window is closed for now. Sell immediately if you own him at $309.8k — holding a player missing multiple weeks with a stress fracture burns cash and a valuable bench/field spot. Nguyen or Gresham are the replacement options being discussed.
